I don't agree this time. IMO it has to do with what is placed in the tank and how it operates. My tank was set up within 1 week, sand, fish, rock, coral....
During the first year there has been no hair algae or funky slime stuff in the main tank. I'm not trying to say I have many solutions but maybe just lucky in some ways.
Possibly it has more to do with a balance of production and consumption. Maybe steal some cultured sand from somebody with extra or use consumers such as calerpa which will compete. Possibly circulation has effects. |
I am right there with you kari. I had my first algae bloom 1 1/2 year's after setup and it was only a few patches of hair algae on the underside of some rocks.
